Nils Oscar Farm Ale

Formerly brewed at Nils Oscar
Style: English Pale Ale
Nyköping, Sweden

Bottle. Shiny brownish amber. Almost headless, only a tiny ring of foam sticking to the glass. Tempting fruits and sweetish malts to the nose. Malty, moderately sweet taste, leading to a modest, but noteable fruityness. Light to medium body. Smooth mouthfeel. Nils Oscar is a reasonable man!

Amber with a white head. The aroma has notes of clove and fruit, and the flavour has cloves too, which disturbs my experience and makes it less inviting. The bitterness comes rather late and develops together with a citrussy note in the long finish.

Bottle from Systembolaget. It’s the aroma that makes this beer for me. It smells of young, slightly green freshly milled malt. Or perhaps it’s the resin I used to put on my violin bow when I was at school (I was wild back in those days). There’s peach and toffee in there too somewhere, as well as a bit of old leather. Tastewise it’s very fresh and fruity (peach) with a nice balanced maple syrupy malty sweetness and low hop bitterness. Good beer - great sniffer!

Fresh aroma, white head on an amber body. Gives an overall impression of freshness and is very drinkable. In fact I wouldn’t mind drinking it every day. Very satisfactory, a pity I had to go to Sweden to buy it. Swedes really can make a beer, despite what Danis prejuices say.

0,33 l bottle. Copper to amber color with small head. Aromatic malt, caramel and resiny english hops in the aroma. Dry and malty aroma with some saltiness and malty aromatics. Fruity bitter finish with caramel and resiny hops. Not the freshest bottle but still quite nice bitter.

Bottle at Nørrebro Bryghus - Ølforum Ølsymposium #3 (Nordisk). Golden - White head. Aroma: Honey - and lots of it !! Taste: Straw, malty, dry, bitter and metallic - Is it oxidated from wrong / long storage ?? But I can still sence that it is a nice beer !!
